Everton were deducted 10 points to get out of the relegation zone: 3 consecutive wins + 3 consecutive wins against Newcastle Chelsea
In a key match in the 16th round of the English Premier League that ended on the evening of December 10, Beijing time, Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0 away and won three consecutive league wins, although 10 points were deducted, Everton, who scored 9 points in three rounds, has successfully escaped the relegation zone.
On the 17th of last month, the Premier League officially announced that Everton would be deducted 10 points this season because of Everton's violation of the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules, and the penalty would take effect immediately. Everton had 14 points at the time, and after being deducted 10 points, only four points remained, which also sent them directly into the relegation zone.
However, just when everyone thought that Everton would not escape relegation this season, Everton did not give up. Despite losing 3-0 at home to Manchester United in their first league game after a 10-point deduction, Everton have gone from strength to strength in the next three rounds. They beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 away before returning home in midweek to beat Champions League side Newcastle 3-0.
Three days later, Everton continued to sit at home and once again did not disappoint their own fans. With possession and shots on goal at a disadvantage, he scored two goals in the 54th half of the second half and the second minute of injury time to win an exciting 2-0 victory and get three points again. After beating the Blues, Everton won three in a row. With 13 points, they are already four points ahead of Luton in the relegation zone, and only one point away from Nottingham Forest in front of them, and the prospects of relegation are gradually becoming optimistic.
And if Everton don't get deducted 10 points this season, they will have 23 points, even surpassing Chelsea to the top half of the table. It can be said that this season, Everton once again perfectly interpreted the tenacious and unyielding characteristics of their "toffees".
